This makes my entire page break it's width command and I was wondering a generic way to break the text before it ruins the table. I know I could ask them not to do it, but that would be harder than just coding a method that would allow me to brek the text after say 60chars or so.

Basically I want the text to word wrap, bold and italicize just my field_text and not mess with anything else on the page.. I just can't seem to figure out how to do it without defining the table width which I don't do. I use percentages. So any of you css gurus got an idea for me?

break-word An unbreakable 'word' may be broken at an arbitrary point if there are no otherwise-acceptable break points in the line. Shaping characters are still shaped as if the word were not broken, and grapheme clusters must stay as one unit.

What does it actually mean? I know English isn't my native language, but... I thought it was saying that things like TOOSTUPIDVERYLONGWORDNOTWANTEDHERE would be broken?

Hint: the shoutbox we discussed in this thread which I also sent you included code to break up long words. Basically for the very same reason of not breaking up a small table...

That code went the way of bits and data due to a recent wipe Yes I have access to the input through coranto. It's actually going to be a mock-up of Field_Text. I figured a perl solution was going to be my route, but trying to train for my current job and having to restart college from scratch thanks to a dodgy school, my perl learning is not up to par at this moment.

(BTW if you still have my email would you please send me a copy of the copy of yours) I still have all my frame work for what I intended to do, but don't seem to have your original.

LMFAO! I have got to stop running myself haggard... I knew it would take perl code and just... dahh!! Once again thanks! I think I am going to invest in a laptop or a palm pilot or something because burning the candle from both ends obviously makes me stupid. LOL!
